Part of the Celestial family, reference 6102 was launched in 2012 to replace reference 5102 and introducing a smoother case design and a calendar around the dial. This watch features one of the most important and complex horological complications developed by Swiss manufacturer Patek Philippe and is powered by the impressive 240 LU CL C caliber.
The reference 6102 features the Northern hemispheric view of the sky and a planisphere that can be seen from the latitude of Geneva. What this means is that if one looks up at the Geneva sky at midnight, then refer to the wristwatch, one should be able to pinpoint the desired star on the dial that can be seen in the night sky.
The present lot combines in a sophisticated manner a blackened base dial with a pink gold case, making this an incredibly rare example and thus a perfect opportunity to acquire a coveted timepiece by watch enthusiasts.
